Heart and Journey, Round 2
I surprised Crissy with tickets to the Heart and Journey concert for her birthday! Her friend Dana, Jarod, Crissy, and I all attended the concert in Indy and it was a blast! Here are a few pictures and videos from the evening.

Randoms
In this post, I will post some random pictures from August to update you on all that happened!
This is the group of lovely ladies from the Social Venture Institute that I planned. During the week we looked at different social ventures from a local to global level, different non-profits that worked to pull individuals out of poverty, and the business mechanics of forming a non-profit and how to run a successful business.

A random thunder storm that flooded the parking lot at work...don't worry-my car is not in this picture!
The ICC Summer VISTA's. Over a 10-week period during the summer, I had the chance to help plan professional development trainings and workshops for the ICC Summer VISTA's. These individuals were focused on beginning community-campus relations that are being carried into the school year by either full time VISTAs or students working on the campuses. This group was awesome and it was so much fun getting to work with them and a great experience planning their trainings and giving presentations!

So, I have 2 posts that I did during the ABC's but here are my final thoughts on the conference...
Just a refresher-the ABC's are put on by the Break Away office (my dream job) who works solely with Alternative Break programs across teh country. They host 3 conferences each summer in different locations in conjunction with a college campus. Butler and IUPUI worked together to secure one of the conferences this summer, so I spent 10 days exploring and learning even more about the Alternative Break scene.
Having had a couple of months to think about what I learned, I'm excited to report that I know I am on the right path. For a long time now my passion has been serving others, and my favorite way to do this is through Alternative Breaks. I love how close groups get when they work together for a week. I love the impact a group can make in such a short time-not only on the community members where they are working but also on each other. In short, I could go on and on about how much I love Alternative Breaks and how I know I have found my place. I want to plan and organize these trips so that I can give back a small amount of what has been given to me through these programs over the last 4 years. I could seriously go on forever, but I will spare you all :) Here are some pictures from the amazing week!
